Bluetooth (Pairing and Using a

Phone)

Pairing
A Bluetooth-enabled mobile device must be
paired to the Bluetooth system and then
connected to the vehicle before it can be
used. See the mobile device manufacturer's
user guide for Bluetooth functions before
pairing the device.
Pairing Information
If no mobile device has been connected,
the Phone main page on the infotainment
display will show the Connect Phone
option. Touch this option to connect.
Another way to connect is to touch the
Phones tab at the top right of the display
and then touch Add Phone.
A Bluetooth smartphone with music
capability can be paired to the vehicle as
a smartphone and a music player at the
same time.
Up to 10 devices can be paired to the
Bluetooth system.
The pairing process is disabled when the
vehicle is moving.
Pairing only needs to be completed once,
unless the pairing information on the cell
phone changes or the cell phone is
deleted from the system.
If multiple paired cell phones are within
range of the system, the system connects
to the paired cell phone that is set to
First to Connect. If there is no cell phone
set to First to Connect, it will link to the
cell phone which was used last. To link to
a different paired cell phone, see Linking
to a Different Phone later in this section.

on the cell phone before the pairing
process is started.
2. Touch the Phone icon on the Home Page
or the phone icon on the shortcut tray

phone to be paired to the vehicle. See

back on.
